San Francisco Chronicle: You got Silicon Valley in your district, or a slice of it.

Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA): Do I?

Chronicle: Solyndra’s down by your way, as a matter of fact.

Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA): Yes.

Chronicle: What specifically are you going to do in the next term to work with the tech sector?

Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA): I wish I had big enough expense allowance to get one of those new “S’s” that Solyndra’s going to make down there, the electric car. My 10 year old is after me. He no longer wants a Porsche. He wants dad to have an “S” sedan. They sound wild. I guess they run $60,000–$90,000.”
